Mammon is the devil that embodies wealth and it is said that he is always slouched over
because he is constantly searching for more wealth and gems. This can be compared to the way
some people perceive Donald Trumps actions and personality. His decision to run for president
of the US shows his constant search for power despite him being a billionaire. Mammon is
against Molochs plan to wage war and would rather stay at Hell and believes it would be more
profitable to mine for gems and minerals.
Donald Trump can be seen as giving the devils argument because of his ideals regarding
immigration and wanting more strict rules with people flying into the country. His rhetoric can
also be compared to that of Belials. Belial seems to have a way persuading the other devils to
agree with his plan and ideas. These can be seen as traits of a politician or that of Donald
Trumps. Trump was able to come out of nowhere without any previous political experience and
create a large following by catering to a wide variety of people who may have been previously
ignored by other politicians. Because of his tactics he was able to persuade a large amount of the
voting population into getting on his side thus winning the election. This tactic is similar to
Belial as he was also able to persuade the rest of the devils into going along with his plan and
ideas even though his reasoning was more because of his laziness and unwillingness to do
anything. Mulciber was the devil in hell who created the palace for Satan. Out of the other devils
he was known for being the most skilled and productive. This can be compared to Trumps
business empire and the different institutions that he created. Trumps business side can be seen
as the productive and skilled side like Mulciber and his new political and persuasive side can be
compared to Belial.
